Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Green food coloring
- Red food coloring (for accents)
- Small rolling pin
- Cookie cutters (Grinch shapes and other holiday motifs)
- Baking sheet or flat surface for drying
- String or ribbon for hanging

Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing with your hands. Add vegetable oil and a few drops of green food coloring. Mix until the dough is fully blended and smooth.
- Shape Your Ornaments: Sprinkle a clean surface with flour to prevent sticking. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness using a rolling pin. Use Grinch-shaped cookie cutters to cut out your ornaments.
- Create Holes for Hanging: Use a straw or skewer to make a small hole at the top of each ornament for string or ribbon.
- Dry the Ornaments: Place the cut-out ornaments on a baking sheet or flat surface. Allow them to air dry for 24-48 hours until firm.
- Decorate: Once dry, use red food coloring, glitter, or paint to add details and personalize your Grinch ornaments.
